| Practice area | [Personal Injury & Compensation (workers compensation, CTP/TAC, medical negligence)](https://ailawframework.com/practice/personal-injury-and-compensation.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Assemble the diagnosis, the ILO score if a record states it, the age at claim, and any earlier lump sum. Do not calculate a dollar figure and do not complete a declaration. |
| What the lawyer must review | Check the score and the age against the record. Say that the pneumoconiosis lump-sum section was not opened. For a terminal condition, use section 128B and do not state a dollar figure. Keep the reports in the firm tool under ASCR r 9, APP 11 and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). |

## Checking plan

**Verify against sources**

A non-terminal pneumoconiosis lump sum on the WorkCover page follows the ILO score and age. A terminal lump sum follows section 128B.

- What the AI does: Assemble the diagnosis, the ILO score if a record states it, the age at claim, and any earlier lump sum. Do not calculate a dollar figure and do not complete a declaration.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer chooses the lump sum, confirms the unopened section, and checks every figure before the application is sent.
- Who reviews: Lawyer competent in this practice area
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 23 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. The WorkCover page says a pneumoconiosis payment depends on the score from an International Labour Organization chest X-ray and on age when the claim is made.
2. The section number for that pneumoconiosis lump sum was not opened.
3. If the condition is terminal, section 128B is the opened formula, chapter 4 part 2 compensation runs only until the lump sum is received, and the WorkCover page says accepting the terminal lump sum closes the claim.
4. The page says a terminal injury is expected to end life within 5 years of diagnosis. The Act definition was not opened. The glossary states no period. Earlier lump sums are deducted from a later terminal payment.

## Notes

- Do not state a dollar QOTE. The lawyer takes the current figure from an official source.
- Dependant lump-sum section numbers were not opened.

## Practical guide

Jurisdiction: WorkCover Queensland latent-onset lump sums, and section 128B

**Deliverable**: A field set for a pneumoconiosis lump sum or a terminal lump sum, with no dollar calculation.

**Inputs**

- Diagnosis
- ILO score if assessed
- Age at the claim
- Any earlier lump sum

**Example**: Illustrative example: The ILO score and the worker's age are in the file, and the condition is not called terminal. The tool records the score and the age and leaves the section number blank. The lawyer confirms the section before a figure is discussed.

**Stop and escalate when**

- A dollar figure is calculated.
- A terminal claim is prepared without the five-year point being put to the lawyer.
